Hello all,
I am looking working on a sensor monitoring server that is using block chain as part of the system. Bit of an oddity I find myself in because I have not used blockchain in any form with SSD or RAID environments.

I am a freelance video editor and since I have recently been working on more demanding projects I've decided to assemble a RAID (Raid 5) mainly for the sake of speeding up my workflow. The only problem is that to be able to fully utilize the benefits of RAID I'd need a thunderbolt 3 port which...

Hello!
I just bought and received the WD My Book Duos in order to use it as a RAID 1 Backup for my Data. To my amazement it has enabled hardware encryption which can't be turned off. This is unacceptable for me as it destroys the whole purpose of RAID1 and data recovery - so i will be sending...
